Re: Gloster Gauntlet K4081

Hello,
Just wondering if the "345" number is from the British Manufacturer ?

The Other aircraft have the numbers "86" to "102".

Of the full total of 18 aircraft -

5 were involved in fatal accidents pre WW2.
They were -
J-26 - 90 - (27/4/37).
J-35 - 99 - (12/2/38).
J-27 - 91 - (6/7/38).
J-33 - 97 - (19/3/39) some give 29/3/39 ?
J-31 - 95 - (8/8/39).
The above are noted as being "Discarded "

J-25 - 89 ; J-28- 92; J-29 - 93; J-30 - 94; J-32-96; J-38 - 102 these six are noted as damaged by enemy aircraft on 9/4/40, repaired, but written off destroyed during air attack.

Seven are noted as "to Germany 29/8/1943 ", they were -
J- 21-345; J-22-86; J-23-87; J-24-88; J-34-98; J-36-100; J-37-101.

Is it possible that these seven were delivered to Finland as spair parts ?
